What is the best hull shape for rough water?
V-shaped hull boats are the best for navigating smoothly through rough water conditions. Unfortunately, with a flat‐bottom boat, it will not ride as well in deep water because you will lose deadrise. While a deep V boat can’t take you as far into shallow waters or stay as stable in calm waters as a flat‐bottom boat, they deal with choppy water far better than flat bottoms.
What type of boat sinks the most?
Types of Boats That Are Likely To Capsize Small boats such as canoes, kayaks, and sailboats are more likely to capsize than heavy-bottomed boats. This is because the latter becomes unstable easily on the water since they have a weight limit. That doesn’t mean larger boats cannot capsize at all. When the wave height reaches 50% of the boat length, there is a high probability of capsizing, with more than 60% the boat is going to be capsized every time!
